I for one wouldn't mind a bare sprt of map similar to just strictly wilderness (BUUUT) having small random outskirts type towns or even the chaotic type of map that could be a majority of sprawling city that is procedurally generated. What it does mean for now though, this could be used for mods which ironically ticks a certain box Atomic was trying to go for for the "dungeons" 😉maybe it become more than just for wilderness even if its not what the dev team is focusing on. Id love to see that kind of stuff become well made and so fun👌I cannot wait. I'm excited.

Nice work with the video! Merry christmas to you!

Seeing the individual part condition of melee weapons in PZ makes me think they'll add something similar to firearms. I imagine that the bolt + bolt carrier, trigger mechanism, barrel and gas tube will each have seperate condition bars and may be able to be swapped out with better condition parts, or repaired with metalworking. Maybe we'll even get proper weapon customisation, too. Like for the M16 there could be different barrels; a 12" version, a 16" version, a 18.5" version, barrels with threading for suppressors, heavier barrels which lose condition slower but weigh more, different triggers from civilian semi-automatic firing mechanisms to military fully automatic and 3 rnd burst firing mechanisms, etc. I don't really use guns in PZ, but i'd still like to see firearms get fleshed out.

Wow looks incredible! Thanks for putting this video out!

I always thought that a good idea for PZ, would be to have a full map of uninfected NPC's, with one or just a few infected (escaping from a lab or something) and the infection gradually infecting everybody over a week or so. You could go around at the beggining getting stores and equiptment to ready yourself for total Zombie take over, before it gets over run. You could have good NPC's, bad NPC's, looting, gangs of survivors etc... that would be pretty cool. You could still even have an odd few NPC's holding out in small pockets, weeks into the game.

@noahdaanimalguy7673

Great idea! I just think it might be laggy based on the subpar and superb survivors mod lol

It would be nice if you reached the end of the map you get a world map screen where you can choose to go to a location then it generates a map according to a biome This way means modders can connect different maps that may or may not be hand crafted It's also a nice idea to have be able to do a small map just for a hideout, so multiplayer groups can make their own private spot in the server without being disturbed by other players

Whilst I love all the stuff they are adding I feel like they keep adding more rather than finishing what they already are working on so much so that it now feels like B42 will never arrive as they will just keep making it bigger and bigger. Surely some of this stuff can be reserved for a later update.

I do love the ideal as the procedure will start as player reach something keystone like make it to Louisville,... everything start to change like mutation zombie, faction, raider, hash environment,...

Your duckie thingy is so adorable 💜

I'm eager to try out the new weapon wear and repair system. Its always bothered me that an axe or a crowbar could just break. I dont know anyone who can swing hard enough to damage the metal bits and, if its a good tool, the wood holds up as well unless its been left out in the weather.

But still need to implement the trajectory mod, for things and bows

@@nood1le I think that the game is more than a decade old and has enough financial support to have more steady updates and, you know, a full release overall. This game is as old as Star Citizen, and the updates are huge, which while good, kind of feels unfocused. I remember playing the old PZ that even had a story bit that was removed with the idea that, someday, the game would be developed enough to have a story mode for those that want to complete the game. Years have passed and systems get revamped, new systems are added, and they never end the development cycle. They should have gone the Minecraft route, making the core idea of the game first, making it possible to be finished/played eternally (The second one is already possible since the beginning, but not the first), then adding all the crazy stuff and revamping what needs to be reimagined (like the foraging system, that was completely different before what we have now). Instead, this upcoming update seems like you are able to fantasy your Far Cry Primal days in isometric graphics, but there is no goddamn signs of NPCs. The first few big updates felt amazing, but now I'm like "where are the NPCs?". As much as Blacksmithing is a nice addition, I remember them talking about returning NPCs since before cars weren't even a part of the game. Like the example I gave with Minecraft, it is like we progressively get new minerals, mobs and resources, but there is no point over getting them, since there is no Nether or End dimensions to adventure trying to finish the game. So far, I played PZ with my brother, and while we had a nice overall time together, we were the ones creating some "objectives" for us to avoid boredom, but after moving to Louisville, more than 3-4 months in game (and I don't know how many hours overall), we shut down the game one day and was like "now what?"

Later on the road I hope the human models will get a further redesign to look more nicer. It's just a wish from myself (there are few mods that do this). Modders will improve also some of the existing systems what was long awaited. Also Merry Christmas everyone.

If they don't add the mod "Superb Survivor" that has an incredible AI, to the official game content i'm going to be so mad.. this mod alone saved the game for me, i bought it on Desura (closed now) back in 2012 or something, in alpha state 2D cartoon like, and they had survivor in the game offcially, just doing their things but still they were there so to see a mod become way more than just dumb npcs, with jobs for them, independent looting and base building, other groups, bandits, being a bandit and robbing other survivors, with everything a player could do, not just a scripted monster, its just too good to be ignored

The turkey look like they've got backwards black caps on.

The new weapon stats would probably be great for people that constantly travel in their game, as for me, I pick a home base and hoard everything there so I always have another weapon or tool ready to go instead of repairing an old one more than once or twice if at all

Honestly I just want an endgame, this stuff all sounds cool but it's also just...more stuff, if you already hit a wall and get bored in this game this isn't going to keep you going much longer so far as I can tell. Once you get to a point where everything is comfy you have basically nothing left to worry about aside from the small chance you'll make a horrendous mistake and die. I don't care if it goes against the theme of the game, I just want a way to "Win" be it fixing up some boat to escape(to a dead world) or breaking out of a military lockdown. Some kind of insane challenges that are super hard to beat as a finisher. Imagine there's like 50 soldier NPC's blocking some complex for you to get through and of course all the gunfire attracts nearby zombies for this huge battle, which would even tie in to the theme of the game because you just let the zombies out and doomed the world. There's loads of ways they could spin each ending to make it be more of a technical win than a triumphant success, To me the game is a lot like Rimworld, you get to a point of being too powerful and then "And now what?" but there's nothing really left to do besides start again. Being able to craft a few more things won't add much for me honestly.
